    Unhappy Is something wrong with her?

    I have a beautiful 08 pastel that has never, ever refused a meal until two weeks ago. For the past few weeks, she's been cruising all the time, even sometimes in the daytime and rarely uses her hide. Now, she's refused to eat two weeks in a row, which is absolutely not like her at all.

    She's around 1600g, so I'm wondering if this is breeding behavior? Maybe she's looking for a boyfriend? But then, why wouldn't she want to eat to bulk up? I'm confused.

    Her temperatures are fine, nothing in the environment has changed, and I haven't noticed any obvious health problems. Should I be worried?

    Re: Is something wrong with her?

    Heather just because they aren't breeding age doesn't mean they don't go through the motions lol. I have several 08's that are in that same frame of mind. I just through in one of my smaller males to stimulate there eating reflex lol. But with you move east so close I wouldn't do that and I also wouldn't worry much either. The golden rule is if she isn't losing considerable weight then she is just going into a fast.
